Sure, you can go out for a greasy take-out breakfast, but if cooking one yourself is just too overwhelming, here are some quick hangover fixes.
- Eggs are a brunch all-star for a reason – full of hardworking amino acids like cysteine and taurine, eggs boost liver function and can help prevent against liver disease . Cysteine also breaks down acetaldehyde, the horrible headache-causing chemical that’s left over when the liver breaks down ethanol.
- Kiwi, bananas, or spinach. Loaded with potassium, these brightly coloured fruits and veggies help get rid of that dehydration headache and sand-paper mouth. Don’t make a salad – just add yogurt and blend them into a hangover-fighting smoothie.
- Oats. A hot bowl of oatmeal has plenty of essential nutrients like B vitamins, calcium, magnesium, and iron. Oats can help neutralise acids in the body and raise blood sugar levels, giving you an instant energy boost.
- Tomatoes. Leave the Bloody Mary, take the tomato juice. Tomatoes contain lycopene, an antioxidant that reduces inflammation in the body. Tomatoes also contain fructose and vitamin C to give the liver a boost.
